Common questions in West Midlands

Which rules do acoustic fire doors in Birmingham need to meet?

They are specified to Approved Document B (England) and your fire risk assessment or fire strategy. We confirm the rating of each door at survey.

Can you fit just one door in Birmingham?

Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in West Midlands.

Can you work around tenants or staff in Birmingham?

Yes. We phase work in occupied buildings and keep escape routes available. Each door is planned to be removed and replaced the same day; if that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.

Can existing doors be made acoustic?

Seals can help a little, but significant improvement normally needs an acoustic doorset.
